  • the flow controller is configured with at least one vent integral therewith, the at least one vent fluidically coupled to at least one of the fluid container and/or the media container.
  • fluid as used herein is inclusive of gaseous, liquid, and combinations of gas and liquid medium unless specifically designated as limited to a particular medium.
  • liquid as used herein is inclusive of suspensions, oil-in-water emulsions, water-in-oil emulsions, and liquids with or without dissolved, dispersed, or contained solids irrespective of the size of the solids or the amount present.
  • a fluid transfer device provides for introduction of fluid from one vessel to another, while a fluid control device may include flow control means for diverting, metering, or interrupting flow between at least two flow paths.
  • fluid transfer device and the term “syringe” are used interchangeably unless otherwise stated, without any express or implied limitation to the scope of any claim, and are inclusive of any device with similar functionality to that of a syringe, but not necessarily the structure of a syringe.
  • the term "media” is inclusive of a solid, semi-solid, emulsion, liquid, or combination thereof.
  • the media can be a lyophilized drug.
  • a single container access and fluid transfer device provides a fluid path between a fluid source container and a transfer container, for example, a syringe.
  • a fluid source container for example, a syringe.
  • the single vial access device is pressed down on top of the fluid source container for attaching, and/or retaining, and/or securing to the device.
  • the central spike is designed to pierce the stopper/septum while simultaneously the shroud and its associated elements passes over the top of the vial.
  • audio and/or tactile sensation is used as the container snaps in place.
  • a syringe may then be attached to the luer port on top of the vial access device.
  • the assembly is then inverted so that the fluid falls to the top end of the vial where the spike has penetrated the septum, and the syringe flow controller is drawn back, pulling liquid through the fluid lumen of the device from the vial into the syringe barrel. If the single vial access device is vented, then filtered air will enter the vial through the vent lumen and a neutral pressure will be maintained. If the single vial access device is not vented, then a slight vacuum will be created in the vial as the fluid is removed, and the user will need to hold the syringe flow controller back until it is removed for transfer.
  • a dual container access and fluid transfer device is to provide a fluid path between a fluid source container and a media container in order to mix and/or reconstitute media, and as a means to transfer the media out of the device, for example, to a syringe.
  • a fluid vial is attached to the fluid container accessing assembly of the dual access device by pressing the device down on the top of the vial so that the central spike pierces the septum of the vial while simultaneously the ring shroud snaps over the top of the vial, for attaching, and/or retaining, and/or securing to the device.
  • the media container accessing assembly of the device is then attached to the media vial in the same way.
  • audio and/or tactile sensation is used as either or both containers snap in place.
  • Visual indicia can be used in proximity to either shroud to indicate to a user which container should be attached.
  • a pressure source port is configured on the device to accept a pressure source (such as a syringe), and the assembly oriented with the fluid vial vertically upwards. The fluid can then be drawn into the syringe from the fluid source.
  • the slidably sealing flow controller may then be pressed to a second position in fluid communication with the media container, and the syringe can be emptied into the media container for mixing and/or reconstitution. Once mixed and/or reconstituted, the device may be reoriented with the media vial vertically upwards, and the media can be drawn into the syringe for transfer.
  • the slidably sealing flow controller provides for multiple fluid paths, and together with the pressure source port, allow the device to be used with alternative configurations of containers to accommodate various fluid sources and methods of operation, which may reduce inventories (and associated costs) without requiring complex manipulations from the user, which may reduce errors.
  • Vents increase the ease of use by relieving pressure that may build up in the fluid and media containers during transfer of volumes.
  • One-way valves may be used for venting. Vent pathways may include a filter placed between the fluid transfer portions and the ambient surroundings. Such a filter may consist of a media with pores in the 0. 2 micron size range, which is capable of blocking microorganisms from entering, and such filters may be hydrophobic, which are capable of blocking liquid from escaping. A hydrophobic filter may prevent leaking of liquid through the vent path, however the liquid that is prevented from escaping will also block the air flow.
  • a single vent filter may be used in conjunction with the sliding valve mechanism changing fluid pathways to provide each media container with access to the vent selectively.
  • Incorporating a vent filter in each end of the slidably sealing flow controller provides two separate vent paths, and allows each vent path to be accessed separately as required, reducing the chance of the vent being blocked by wetting of the hydrophobic filter.
  • the device configurations described herein can function with venting, without venting, or with a combination of vented and unvented pathways.
  • the filter media can be combined with one-way fluid control valves that are integral with the flow controller.
  • the shroud feature of a vial access device serves two purposes. First, it supports and helps retain and/or secure the vial when the device is assembled. Second, it covers and protects the spike when the device is not attached to a vial.
  • Previously reported shrouds consist of a number of tabs or fingers that are nominally in interference with the vial top diameter, and when assembled, deflect outwards until they pass the top section of the vial and then snap back in. In this configuration the strength of the vial retention is directly proportional to the force required to snap the shroud over the vial top. To achieve a secure vial retention force the assembly force can become uncomfortably high, which can lead to difficulty during use resulting in the user dropping containers during assembly of the device.
  • the main body of the shroud consists of a distal solid ring (annular edge) supported by segments projecting from a flat base.
  • the ring and segments are slightly longer than the central spike that also projects from the housing, thus protecting the spike's point while in an unassembled state.
  • protrusions or fingers extend proximally toward the housing.
